      It seems easy, but the truth is that assembling this table is anything but easy. You have to be very precise, patient and cautious when you are taking the measurements because one mistake will completely ruin the process.

    I had me Steve Davies snooker set when I was a kid. It was something of a half meter across and 30 some centimeters wide. Cues were toothpicks and the balls were as marbles. I truly felt like I was a "aristocrat" played snooker on our living room table.

      wax will melt when you iron the cloth , soft sand car body filler is used tin modern tables , plaster of used to be used years ago , but good hand floated slates are made as a set and if done correct no filler at all is used .
      Wax is an american filler , we do not use that here in the UK .
